Hi,

We (QNX) maintain mesa port internally for the long time since 2016, but wi=
th recent company policies shift I'd like initiate step-by-step submission =
of QNX port changes to the Mesa's main branch. Most of the changes will be =
to the "util", then EGL and WSI Vulkan sources.

I created an account "mgorchak" at freedesktop's gitlab. But when I'm tryin=
g to fork the mesa I got this error:

Limit reached You cannot create projects in your personal namespace. Contac=
t your GitLab administrator.

I read all available documentation how to submit patches, etc, but not a si=
ngle word for this issue. How to fix it?

Thank you!
